APOE and type 2 diabetes mellitus: The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years old, and BMI ≥ 24.0 kg/m2 were independent risk factors for T2DM and T2DM + CAD, and APOE ɛ3/ɛ4 genotype (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18–3.14, p = 0.008) and ɛ4 allele (adjusted OR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.23–3.17) were independent risk factors for T2DM + CAD.
